They offered him a role he couldn't refuse

I can't imagine a Michael Corleone without Al Pacino.

I think Francis made the right call picking Al for the part. The rest is cinematic history

Thank God, Coppola fought to get Pacino. He was perfect as Michael. Arguably his best ever role.

After seeing Pacino in that role I can't imagine anyone else playing Michael Corleone. Same goes for Brando.
As close to a perfect movie as I've ever seen.

[vCLOWNSHOESv]

I can't imagine anyone else playing Michael. Truly iconic.

[SpaceX]

Fransis fought not only for Al but also for Brando
Wew, his stubbornness made the history

Pacino wanted to play Sonny at first too. Jack Nicholson turned it down the role of Michael. The studio wanted a list of other actors including Robert Redford or Martin Sheen, all great actors but Good thing the director fought for Pacino. It turned out perfect.

Seeing Al Pacino in HEAT showed why directors would fight for him, great actor who played the perfect godfather.

I love Al Pacino as an actor. He is a really star.

[stevenlorusso]

I’m so glad you did you are by far my favorite actor God bless you

[rajamohammed]

It is hard for us to see al pacino got rejected that iconic role. I think Al Pacino has that gangster in his voice and mannerisms.

I have been a fan of Al Pacino since serpico debuted in the theaters. He is such a down-to-earth and humble humble man and he is hands down one of the best actors of all times. He makes you believe in his characters. My ultimate favorite movie is Scarface when he played Tony Montana.

Pacino is great actor. Godfather 1& 2, enduring classics. And then there’s Tony Montana 🍻

[maryjobraun]

Glad he did get you to do the part, it was made for you. You did a fantastic job Mr. Pacino.

[abomarsyr]
